Blurb: 
Al Murphy, onetime lawman, has sunk to being a penniless saddle bum. After the love of his life, Midge, was killed in a tragic accident, Murphy settled deep into the bottle, but the pain in his gut put a stop to his drinking. On the trail, he stumbles upon a murder and kills two of the perpetrators. The victim's sister, Christine McCormick, hires Murphy to ride shotgun on her supply wagon. She and her brother were merchants involved in a vicious--and now deadly--price war with Bernard Gibson Mercantile. With a job and an interest in Christine, Murphy begins to regain self-respect. He also rediscovers his capacity for friendship as he works with Skeets, the supply-wagon driver, and Moses, who cares for the McCormick horses.
